It has officially happened, I have hit the pregnancy wall. My friends told me about it but, until you get here you can't even imagine. It's the wall where you hate everyone, and everything around you. No one understands and all they can say is, "are you OK?" Which is the last thing that you want to hear. My poor husband, well at this moment I do feel bad for him for having to put up with me. Ask me later and I am sure that it won't be that positive!
The good news is Daniel has dropped and he is head down. The bad news is that he loves my ribs and my back. Some days I feel like every part of my body has hurt at one point or another. I really do have nothing to complain about, until now I have had a easy pregnancy. It's just hard to remind yourself of that.
Work is starting to slow down, which is good. I have just a couple of more meetings and events and then it will be over. My last day, if he doesn't come early is June 30th. God has opened up a lot of big doors for me lately and I just pray that I am able to finish all of them before he gets here.

Can we say over concerned mommy!
OK, so I admit that I have become an over concerned mommy! It all started Wednesday night, we came home from church and I was not feeling very well at all. I started throwing up, and got really dizzy. I just went to bed and thought I had over done for the day.
I woke up Thursday morning not feel all that great. I decided to stay home and just take it easy. All day I kept my feet up and drank water all day. At 4 o'clock I took my blood pressure and it was high. I called the doctor and he told me to go to the hospital.
My mom came to pick me up and we went to the hospital. David met us there (Mr. Worry Wort) and they started doing test. They finally realized that I was dehydrated and have a small kidney infection. Daniel is doing fine, although he hated the monitor. The nurse had to keep coming in and changing it because every time he moved the alarm would go off. He is are little adrenaline baby!

Where does the time go?
Really, where does the time go?
David left for New Orleans Monday and I had all of these things that I wanted to do - how many have I done? That would be none of them! Yesterday I had to go to our last bradley class, I didn't get home until 11 at night, so I went straight to bed. Today, I worked all day, came home and I have been to sleepy to do anything. The days go by so fast, and I feel as if I get nothing done. I have 7 1/2 more weeks left:) My official last day at work is going to be June 30 after that I get to start mommyville!! That is if Daniel doesn't come early. I am still having to keep my feet up so that they don't swell. I have to go to the doctor every week for a check up, and we are still on a search for a doctor. Hopefully this week will slow down and I can get more done!!!

The Football Feet Are Gone!
Well, my football feet are gone. After keeping my feet up for almost 24 hours the swelling went away. I must say, the stay at home thing is NOT for me. Yesterday, I woke up at 6 a.m. because I couldn't sleep anymore, by 9:30 I was so bored! What do people do that stay home everyday? I realize that once Daniel gets here I am going to be begging for time to be bored. However, for the time being, I don't like it. Today I am going to try to work, we'll see how that goes. Tonight David and I have our newborn care class, that should be fun. David and I get to give baby dolls a bath, change there diapers, and all the other fun stuff. Pray that my feet stay OK, and I'll update later on our class!!

This was NOT the plan
SO today I am going about my life as I always do - except by 12:00 my feet looked like footballs. I feel great, that's the part that is hard to understand. So I called the doctor and he was able to see me. The good news is I didn't have protein in my urine, and my blood pressure is fine (OK, after the second time they took it) The only problem I have is that my feet look like footballs. Needless to say, my doctor wants me to go ahead and start my maternity leave two months early. Of course the first thing I say... no,I can't it's not in my plan. My plan was to work until the end of June and then take off. That's the thing with plans - they hardly ever work. The good news is I am able to take care of my customers from home and get out only a couple of hours a week. Please pray that we are able to do that!

A day at the races
David and I made our first trip to Church Hill Downs this past weekend. We went with our friends Adam and Kendie. We got all dressed up, sat in a wonderful suite and ate some great food. We tried to bet - yea right - we had no idea what we were doing! We now know why we don't even pay the lottery, we have no luck when it comes to betting. It's a good thing that we have many blessings from God!
So, I had my first every other week doctor's appointment on Monday. It was quick, easy and painless. I waited for 30 minutes and saw the doctor for 15 minutes. A quick pee in the cup, heart beat count, measurement, and I was on my way. Our next appointment will be in two weeks, that visit we have to pre-register at the hospital. That was my wake up call that it's just around the corner.
Monday night David and I had our 6th Bradley class. We only have 2 more to go! Next week we have to "pretend" that I am in labor for a whole hour! That should be fun. This will be David's last class he will be in New Orleans for the last one. I am so proud of him he has come so far, just in 6 weeks. The first class David could of cared less. Second class, he feel asleep! Third class, this was the "coaches responsibility" class, he finally started to pay attention. Fourth class, I think it actually hit him that we are having a baby. After that class he has been all about it. Thank God! I prayed so long and hard about it.
Work has been so busy. I look at my calendar and see that I only have two months left, it stresses me out. I have so much to do. I keep praying everyday that the event I have on Monday will have a great turn out - so far I only have 10 people confirmed and I need 40 more. Please pray that I will get 40 more. I have to start working on my maternity leave letter - they have to be out by Memorial Day.
This week we start interviewing for pediatricians. This should be fun! Pray that we find a good one. Next week David and I have a "caring for baby" class. In this class we have to treat dolls like our babies - I will take pictures of that.
Have a great week!

Crazy, Wonderful Life
OK, we have 102 days to go and let me tell you, I am feeling the need to do everything NOW!
"Nesting" as many people call it is an understatement in the Roach house. No one understands me, and my husband thinks I am crazy. At this point I have had no cravings, no weird things happen, but I have become very demanding. Yes, we all knew the inter Princess would come out. I feel the need to just stay at home, out of view of the public. I am so tired of people touching my belly, especially women who have already been pregnant. My belly is private not a play toy! OK, enough of complaining.
David and I had a wonderful Easter. All of our family came over for a dinner party the Saturday before and we actually got to spend time together. We decided to have everyone over since it would probable be the last time before Daniel arrives. Nashville was cold on Easter Sunday, which I was glad for because I couldn't find any cute Easter clothes.
We are finally on the home stretch with getting the nursery finished. At this point we are waiting for our furniture to be done. Once that has arrived we can finish everything. Much to every ones dismay it looks like we are going to be finished by next weekend!!
At our last doctors appointment Daniel was doing great. He is a little wiggle worm, the doctor was trying to get the heart beat and all you could hear was him moving around. I am doing fine even my weight, which I have not been happy with. At first I wasn't gaining enough now I feel like a whale. Next visit I have to take the glucose test, I pray that everything is OK with that.
Monday we started our Bradley classes. For those of you who don't know I am planning on having Daniel naturally. For those of you shaking your head thinking I am crazy, I probably am, but I will have a drug free child as a result! My life is about my child "period" and whatever I can do to ensure that he is 100% healthy that is what I plan to do. The first class was basically a get to know you class. We went over how the next 8 weeks will go and what to except. We also got to watch a child birth video, which I must say wasn't as bad as I thought. The big thing was nutrition, I have to eat lots of protein!
Well, that's it, I will write again after our next doctors appointment!
